Abstract
BIG, an acronym for Georeferenced Information Base,is an institutional program under development at INPE. Its goal is to build a high-performance computational platform for managing, integrating, processing, and making large geospatial datasets available. The platform includes various environmental data obtained through orbital remote sensing, cartographic bases, parameters measured by in-situ collection stations, results from Earth system numerical models, among others. Data and metadata cataloging is a crucial step in this context, enabling standardized exploration and access to the information. To achieve this, the STAC standard has been adopted. This paper presents details of the cataloging process for images obtained by the GOES series geostationary meteorological satellites in the BIGenvironment, describing the currently available collections,with one example of access and processing of these images.The integrated image catalog can currently be accessed at the address https:// data.inpe.br/ stac/ browser.
